Former owner of Twin Pine, William Weasner, had hopes of restoring his 1968 Champion. Like the airport, the project was abandoned.

Since I visited this bird at this location 5 years ago, she has not fared too well....

Special thanks to Tony for pointing this gem out to me!

A long-time resident resident of Mesa Falcon Field, this unmarked Skytrain now rests at the Basler Turbo Conversions compound at Oshkosh. I cannot tell whether the airframe is a parts ship or an actual candidate for conversion.

This ex-US Marines transport has been stored at the Basler Turbo Conversions apron for nearly a decade, so it is uncertain whether it will fly. Then, again, the folks at Basler can and do perform miracles.

Lurking in the weeds in the backlot of South Jersey Regional Airport, this Aero Commander won't bee taking off anytime soon.

This is all that remained of the Cant Z 506 piloted by Coronel Franco, chief of the seaplane base at Pollensa, Mallorca, Spain. The famed aviator perished on his 51st mission.

The future does not look too bright for this poor Shorts 330, as she stares into oblivion.

Though in better condition than her stored stablemates, it is questionable whether this aircraft will fly again.
